. 4vented certain new -and useful improvements in Oil-Burners, of which the'followinis'a speclcation.

his invention relates to oil burners and more particularly to that class of oil burners Vadapted to use crude oil distillate andhas for its primary object the provision of a burner of the' character setforth udhich shall` be economical, easy to manufacture andinstall and edicient in operation.

A further object of this invention is to Y ,provide a burner of the character described i which shall be adapted to be inserted in the ordinary coal range and used in lieu of the solid fuel therein.

A still further object is. to provide a burner for petroleum distillates adapted to y l 1s .secured a short section of pipe 37 having a.

generate its own gas at all times to maintain level and even temperature in the heating device in which it is installed,

With the foregoing and other'objects in vieu7 as will hereinafter appear, this invention consists in the novel arrangement and peculiar combination of the various parts of a crude oil burner hereinafter described and more particularly setforth -inthe appended claims.

Referring to the drawings forming a portion of this specification and in Whichjsimil'glar reference characters indicate similar parts 'wherever used: Figure' l is a top plan fire box broken away and showing the improved burner installed therein; Fig. 2 isa top plan view of the improved burner; Fig.

is a detail perspective of one ot the burner tips; Fig. 4 isa detail perspective of the starting-pan and bfaiiie plate.

The numerah 5 designates a range of any usual 'type provided with the usual tire box 6.

While l have shown the invention as applied to a kitchen range, it is to be under stood that the burner may be utilized Wherever heat is desired.l Within the fire box 6 is placed a pan 7 having sides'8 and an elongated side extension 9. The pan is so placed in the fire box that the extension 9 is back thereof and abuts against the rire hriclf. i0.

lThe burner proper' consists of a pipe 11 provided with a votre 3.2 and in communicaview of a kitchen range with the top of the tion. withan source of supply of crude oil distlllate `which pipe 11 is secured by means -ofa collar 131130 an expansion chamber 14 of relatively larger diameter than the pipe ll and .formed with two expansion rings l5 and 16.v A reducer 17 is placed on one end of the ex ansion chamberll and tothe re-- l ducer. is astened by means'pf a collar 18 a small section of pi e 190i the same relative @diameter as the pipe 1l. A four-Way coupling 20 is fastened to the pipe 19 by means of a collar 2l and carries on its laterally extending arms by means of collars 22 and 23 short sections of pipes 24 and 25 and upon .its straight Way branch is a collar 26 to which is secured a short' section of pipe l27 carrying a T member 28 secured thereto' by means of a collar 29. By means of collars 30 and 3l secured to the pipes 24 and 25 respectively are supported right angled burner tips 32, 33 having lsli tailed tips 34 and 35. The T member 28 narries a collar 3G to which collar 38 carryingan L 39'to which is se-l cured by .means of a collar 40 a short section of pipe 41 closed by means of a cap42.l

47 a pipe 48'closed by means of a cap 49.l

The burner is installed in the lire box or any other desired'location at a point above theA pan 7' in such a manner that the fish tailed burners 34 and 35 face the member 9 formed y on the pan 7.

The operation of the device is as Afollows;l

Vh'en it is desired to start a 'ire in the stove or lother .heating device, the valvep12 is operated to allow a 'ow. of 'the pil through pipe ll 'from whence it will flow into -the expansion'chamber 14 andante the closed pipes 41 and 48 and out through the burner tips 34 and 35 as will readily be seen. When a suioient amount lof oil has drippedv from -the burner tips 34 and 35`int'o the pan 7, the oil in the pan'7 is then ignited which' will cause a Haine to strike upwardly against the various parts ofthe burner and most intensely against that part of the burner composed of the pipes 27, the-T 28,

andthe closed pipes 41 and 48 heating lthe .oiltherein to a cracking temperature whereupon gas will be formed Within the' pipes mentioned and will flow out of the b rner tips 34 and 35, causingA a *ll-shaped ame Patentes. rias. as, isis.

as shown in Figa 3 which will strike against the baffle plate l9 and be deiected inthe -shown'in Fig. l; through the usuall flame chamber arounddirection of the varrows the" oven of the stove and 50 of the stove. Y t v I realize' that considerable variation/of the details of my invention may' be"reso'rted to Without departing from the spirit thereout of the stack ofA and it. is not my-intention to limit my? 'f pansion, chamber, and a plurality. offgas to-direct their burner nozzles positioned intermediate said chamber and 4gas forming members adaptedl flames against said gas forming members and receive a supply of gas from both of said gas forming [members and expansion chamber.
